there's interest in this sort of thing as well. Also, the list of
all-time top voted matches is littered with CB5 matches. Seems to me
things are working just fine, and I bet Ceej agrees. --- If this post was overly verbose, that means I tried very hard to not call you an idiot. Me, owned? Damn you Rufus Shinra, Guru Champion. |

I was almost expecting Link to get above 55%, especially since I used
the current poll results from about 20 minutes before the start of this
match to get an idea of what Link would get if he received a certain
percentage of Snake's votes. Using the final results of the last poll,
here is what Link would be expected to get if he received a certain
percentage of Snake's votes: 55% of Snake's votes.......................55.45% 56% of Snake's votes.......................55.65% 57% of Snake's votes.......................55.84% 58% of Snake's votes.......................56.04% 59% of Snake's votes.......................56.23% 60% of Snake's votes.......................56.43% 61% of Snake's votes.......................56.63% 62% of Snake's votes.......................56.82% 63% of Snake's votes.......................57.02% 64% of Snake's votes.......................57.22% 65% of Snake's votes.......................57.41% The results above will be slightly off because the total votes that are cast in today's match will vary somewhat from yesterday. But I expect it to exceed 150000 for a final battle match in the Battle Royale. --- Luster Soldier - Popular at school. ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ |

Hmm...Power Hour or not, this is a marvel, though. Link's had a bad
tendency to finish pretty close to his NPH percentages this year, so it
might look damn ugly even by the end...not this ugly, though. <<
I thought Cloud would be a HEAVY favorite in my mind after a FFVII
remake, now it looks like he'd need one of those and an appearance in
the SSB series just to compete. Oh, and are there more pics now or is it just me??? --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

| I hope he doesn't try anything *too*
creative...this contest was definitely my favorite, but it could have
been even BETTER without the female half holding it down. Just going to
a proper Games Contest would yield incredible results, and wouldn't
require much thought at all. Just don't separate the games by
generation...and heck, you'll have TP, the vaunted "FFVII killer"
(though really, OoT would beat FFVII too now, and I'd take it over TP
too). --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

I don't know KH, the female bracket was a massive waste of time. Fixed! I mean, what, it had Peach/Jill, which was alright, but would have been better if people actually cared for either character. I was much more pumped with the Seph/Snake showdown. What else...Tifa's overperformance...meh, Samus still rocked the bracket. Nope, can't find anything worth my time in the female half. --- Moltar Status: 15th on the leaderboard! Go my alt! Battle Royale Day 5 - Bracket: Cloud - Vote: Link (160/224) |

For all the 'twists and turns' it gave us, the end result for me (and
most others here) was a perfect female half. Honestly, I'd say the most
interesting things it gave us were 1.) Samus being noticeably hurt by
ZSS and 2.) messed up stats. And I guess throw in the two RE girls for
putting on a show. You conceivably have all of these things and more in
a regular bracket, without crap like KOS-MOS/Amy Rose and Lara/Alyx and
Rikku/Lenneth and Ada/Jade and Joanna/Cortana and... --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Tifa's overperformance sent the board into more of a stir then you're
admitting... but think of it this way; had there been no female
bracket, it would have messed up the order of the characters and halted
much of what made this contest worth while. --- Currently listening to: A Twist in the Myth, Amputechture, Deus Ex Machinae, Black Wings of Destiny, Let Mortal Heroes Sing your Fame, and others. |

| RPGuy96 | Posted 11/17/2006 9:57:16 PM | message detail |
| The female bracket wasn't that bad. It gave us two
of the twenty-five closest matches (Samus/Tifa shockingly so), and had
some pretty big surprises, if only by percentage and not victories. It
also kept Samus out of the male bracket, which was undoubtedly a good
thing. It had bad points - Characters like Jade, Daisy, Amy, and
Cortana kept characters like Magus, Knuckles, Donkey Kong, Kefka, and
Pac-Man out of the bracket, and there were a lot of boring blowouts
because of it - but it wasn't a huge failure or anything. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |

Wait...huh? Get rid of the female half of the bracket, and the contest's bracket would have been completely rearranged.

You can still keep Samus away from the males and not 'technically' have a female bracket. That's just good bracketmaking. Honestly, you automatically improve the female bracket just by ripping out a bunch of the boring crap and inserting in some random characters. Sure, you could have people wondering why one side of the bracket seems to be so female-heavy, but there'd be no complaints with the results! --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

would have been completely rearranged. It served a purpose, even if
just to set up matches in the male half we didn't know were going to be
good. But that happens with every contest -- it's just dumb luck, really. We might have missed out on Peach/Jill, sure, but in return we might have seen Samus go up against Vincent in the Elite Eight with a ZSS picture and possibly lose that match (or have the margin at least be as small). --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |
